carefully crafted with crayons and glitter glue. "This
will be the best tea party ever!" she exclaimed with joy.
First, she invited her best friend Molly, the
mischievous velociraptor, known for her quick wit and
bright green scales. Next, she invited Sammy, the shy
stegosaurus with his spectacular spiky tail.
Last but not least, she invited Dolly, the daring
pterodactyl, who loved to share exciting stories about

doughnuts, and of course, the tastiest herb tea.

brook, lived Dilly the Duckling. Dilly was a curious little
duck, always keen to find new things and make new
friends.
One sunny day, while waddling around, Dilly spotted a
fluffy little creature buzzing around the bright flowers. It
was Bumble the Bee, known for his jovial nature and

doing?"

back, "It's a very special job."
Dilly was excited. "May I help you?" he asked. Bumble
hummed in surprise, for no duckling had ever offered to

The Great Cookie Adventure
Once upon a time, in the little town of Munchville, lived
a friendly, whiskered mouse named Micky.
Micky had a big nose for sniffing out the yummiest
treats and he absolutely loved cookies!
One sunny day, Micky smelled the most delicious scent.
"Mmmm!" he thought, "That's Mrs. Baker's world-
famous choco-chip cookies!" He set out on a quest,
ready to follow the tempting aroma.
First, he had to sneak past the Johnson's cat, Snowball,
who loved chasing mice. Micky put on a leaf as a hat,
pretending to be a little moving bush.
Snowball stared but was soon distracted by a shiny bell.
"Phew!" Micky sighed, moving forward.
Next, he came across a large puddle. Micky was a tiny
mouse, and to him, it looked like a vast ocean. But Micky
was a clever mouse. He spotted a leaf floating nearby.
With a little push, Micky sailed across the puddle on his
leaf-boat, reaching the other side safely.
The Great Cookie Adventure
Finally, he reached Mrs. Baker's house. He could see the
cooling rack full of cookies on the window sill. Micky found
a stack of flowerpots leading up to the window.
He climbed them like a mountain climber, one pot at a
time, until he was at the window.
Taking a big leap, Micky landed softly among the warm
cookies. The smell was heavenly, and the cookies were so
big, they were like cookie mountains to him.
Micky took a small bite from a cookie. "Yum!" he squealed
in delight. It was the best cookie he had ever tasted!
Micky returned home, his heart full of joy and his belly full
of cookie. The sun was setting, painting the sky in shades
of pink and orange.
That night, Micky dreamt of his exciting adventure, and of
course, Mrs. Baker's world-famous choco-chip cookies.

most?
2. How did Micky cross the big puddle?

ordinary ball. He was as red as a summer rose and could
bounce higher than the tallest tree in the park.

ball!" as Bob helped him knock down the ripest apples from
the top of the pile.
